Root Hog is as lively as ever.
The Hub mine on Lava creek is
said TO be making a fine showing.
Travellers on the Challis stage road
find the Big Butte station a pleasant
place to stop.
Very good reports of the condition
OF the mines come from the Sheep
Mountain and Stanley Basin districts.

There are twenty-eight civil cases
on the District Court calendar at Chal-
lis. There will probably not be more
than three criminal cases.
Col. Charles A. Wood. of Salmon
City, and Judge Morgan, of Blackfoot,
are among the visiting attorneys at
this term of court.
The concentration at Bay Horse has
been closed for time. IL is the in
tention of the company TO put in more
powerful machinery. The smelter is
still running.
This session of court will undoubt-
edly be a short one owing to the fact
that no copies Of the revised laws can
be procured, and the difficulty of pro-
ceeding without knowing what the
law is Attorneys are 10th to push
civil actions and no criminal cases
can be tried unless copy of the laws
is received.

Sparks from POcateIIO.

On Sunday last the Rod and Gun
Club gave themselves and friends a
very pleasant trip to Pebble. A part
of the Club went out on the early
freight train with tent, glass balls,
clay pigeons, etc, one hundred and
fifty live pigeons had been sent up
from Salt Lake and everything was
prepared for having good time. At
7;30 large number of ladies and
gentlemen equipped with guns, fish
ing tackle and lunch baskets took the
Short Line passenger train and after
delightful ride of two hours arrived
at Pebble, where they found the tent
pitched and fish enough for dinner al
ready secured. The remainder of the
forenoon was spent by the gentlemen
in fishing and by the ladies in prepar-
ing lunch. At 1890 the whole party
sat down and did ample justice to the
many good things provided by the la
dies; lunch being over the next in or
der was the shooting match; first the
live pigeons, then the clay pigeons
and then the glass balls, after which
followed considerable miscellaneous
shooting in which some of the ladies
took part. In the pigeon match Judge
Fisher carried of the sweepstakes, but
excellent shooting was done by many
other members of the club and by DR..
Kibbe, of Shoshone. During the
shooting Mr. Bible, who was standing
in the river fishing, received a few
stray pellets in his side and neck, but
without their infiicting any serious in
jury. In the afternoon our photogra-
pher, Mr.. Whitehy, took a number of
photographs of the crowd. After an
early supper a portion of the party
took the west bound passenger train
and arrived in Pocatello at 1915: the
remainder stayed and took freight
which landed them at home about
1880. Everybody enjoyed the day;
it was great treat to those who are
confined TO the house or office. and
many thanks are due the Club from
their many friends who were so kind
ly invited to the picnic The Clubs
committee on arrangements certainly
deserves great credit for the admira-
bic way in which everything was done.

The Odd Fellows of EmpOria are
making preparations for big time on
the 26 inst, when it is expected they
will turn out and parade in the even
ing, after which sociable in Odd Eel
lows hall, and possibly a hop, will
follow. Committees on programme,
ETC., were appointed last evening, who
now have the matter in hand.
This body has lately had quite a re-
vival of interest, many new members
joining its ranks and old members be-
coming reinstated. The attendance is
now SO large each regular meeting that
the capacity of the lodge room is being
thoroughly tested. Much of this boom
Is ascribed to the new and young men,
bers who have lately joined and who
have taken a great interest in
the workings OF the or
der. A noticeable feature, and
one that is having its effect in drawing
out some of the old boys. who had near
~ forgotten they were members, is the
new team work, now becoming gem
orally adopted by all the stronger
lodges in the Union. Union Lodge No.

the wealthiest lodges in Kansas, own
ing their own han and other valuable
property, including Maplewood ceme-
terry, one Of the finest in this section of
country and which is being improved
daily IN appearance.

QUE DRUGGLsTS.

In n quiet conversation yesterday
evening with one of EmpOria's leading
druggists-who, by-the-way, is not a
saloon druggist representative of
THE NEWS was informed that it
seemed to be the impression in some
circles that no lady would allow her
name to be used on a petition for a
druggists license, and that some wO-
men of his acquaintance had expressed
doubt of the ability of any of our drug
stores to conform to the law so far as
the qualification requiring twenty-five
ladies to sign a request for druggists
permit was concerned.
Now, in view of these facts, THE
NEWS deems it duty to place a few
paragraphs in its columns for the in
formation of these narrow-minded peo-
pie. The first of these is that the Muir
ray law allows no one other than pro-
fessional pharmaceutist to keep drug
store, and no one but such druggist is
allowed under any circumstances to
deal in any manner in Intoxicating
liquors. Fhis being the fact, and it
being the duty of all druggists to keep
liquors as a part of their stock of medi-
cine, as required by law, is 1t not the
plain duty of any good citizen-male
or female-to sign the petition of any
established druggist of known integri-
ty, instead of CHASING him with others
who have been making whisky saloons
out of their drug stores.
The profession of druggist is a noble
one, and because for sordid gain it has
been prostituted to base purposes is no
good reason why all should be tarred
with the same stick. On this same
subject the Atchison Champion has the
following:
a dispatch from Marysville an
nounces that the druggists of Marshall
permits under the Murray law.
If the druggists of Marshall county
are of the class who have been keeping
what are called whisky drug storeS'o
their action is proper. A saloon under
the disguise of a drug store cannot be
kept under the Murray law. But any
| legitimate druggist-any man who, be-
/ ing engaged in the drug business, pro-
poses to sell liquors only for medical,
mechanical and scientific purposes
makes a mistake if he does not take
out legal permit. The Murray law
| affords to the honest and legitimate
druggist far better protection than did
the old law. Its provisions are plain
| and easily understood. Druggists have
right to sell liquors for medical, me-
ehanical and scientific purposes, and
the law provides simple method OF
determining whether purchasers want
liquors for such purposes. The law re-
quires the purchaser to make an affida-
Wit, and gives the form in which such
affidavit shall be made. No man or
| woman desiring to purchase liquor fol
any lawful purpose, viii hesitate for an
instant about making such an afidayit.
The affidavit is for the protection of the
seller. The law imposes severe penal
ties upon anyone making false All
davit, or signing fictitious name. In
brief, the new law puts the greater re
sponsibility upon the purchaser, rs il
should Any druggist who sells in

Proh1bItiOn IN Texaa.

ST. LOUIS, April ia special from

My is the important event next to
happen in Texas apart from the close
battle to be fought between liquor and
anti-whisky on August on the Ques-
ton of a constitutional amendment to
be submitted to a vote of the people.
There is contest among politicians on
the question of making the issue a
party matter. The head of the demo-
cratic party refuses to recognize the
fight on the amendment as a party
fight. Many agree with him and many
take the opposite view. The republi-

The prohibition wave seems destined
to sweep over Texas like an avalanche.
The latest important feature down
there is the attitude taken by Senator
elect Reagan, who has written an open
letter strongly favoring prohibition, in
which his picture of the wretchedness
and dishonor to be encountered in every
community because of the use of liquor
is fully up to the most vivid and start
ling efforts of the professional temper
ance advocates. lie was blind to this
terrible situation two years ago, and
did not hesitate then to declare that all
sumptuary laws were contrary to the
democratic faith. But prohibition is
great deal stronger in Texas now than
it was ut that time, and the gentleman
evidently knows how to trim his sails
to suit the prevailing wind.

Home MANUFACTURER

Editor EmpOria Daily NEWS:
There has been much said lately in
regard to patroniZing home-industry
and the amount of good the city would
derive from it. In this connection per-
NIT us, through your columns, to say a
few words in regard to our trade-that
of cigar making. 1t is estimated by
men of good authority that there are
consumed in this city each week about
los, 600 cigars. If these were all manu-
featured here it would give steady en-
ployment to 100 cigar makers, twenty
five strippers and six packers, whose
wages would aggregate on an average
81 400 weekly, payable in cash each
Saturday. This would then give the
city the reputation of being a center
for the manufacture of cigars, and in a
very short time the amount of work
men could be increased to $50 cigar
makers, thirty-nine shippers and nine
packers, with payroll of s2,1OO
weekly. How would such an enterprise
as this loom up in our booming city.
But we will proceed to the funny part.
OF the amount consumed here over
ninety per cent comes from
Eastern jobbers and manufacture
ers. So instead of dealers help
ing to give employment to these
men in Emporia who in return would
patroniZe them to the amount of 81 400
90 each week, they very kindly helpus
to less than $4,000 per week and give
laborers in the east, who do nothing to
help our city or patroniZe our mer-
chants to the amount of dollar. the
benefit of the remaining 81 ,260.00. What
lovely contr st, and why is it that
this branch of industry is so poorly pat
ronized by the home dealer and con-
sumner, is it because the manufacturer
here cannot compete against eastern
made goods? Indeed 1t is not. On the
contrary, with the exception of the
Chinese, convict, and filthy tenement
house cigars, he offers them class of
goods that are cleaner, of better work
manship and finer quality for the same
price than they buy the eastern cigars.
For example. when the dealer here
buys the eastern cigar he does not as a
rule get it direct from the manufact-
urer, but from the jobber, who in the
first place allows the manufacturer
his profit on each thousand, then
adds a profit for himself, which, by the
way, is good round one, as it certain
| " must be in order to cover his ex-
penses in selling them and make him d
| little money besides, SO originally the
| highest priced cigar from the east is
| but a very cheap one when it leaves the
factory. This being true, does it not
stand to reason that the manufactures
here who has not this expense can at
ford to pay little better price for his
labor and use finer class of tobacco
| in the manufacture of his goods and
vet meet the prices of his competitors.
| The truth is there is no reason why
| this industry should not be better pat
ronized. Therefore, we ask of you,
consumer, to throw aside your preju-
dices, give us your support while you
are Growing "boom," by demanding
1 homemade cigars and seeing that YOU
i get them, and in return we viii IN q
| short time show you an enterprise that
will bring 200 strangers int your city
and employ them steadily. Mr.. Mer-
chant and Dealer. we also ask yaul

Prairie Fir..

ATCHIsON, Kas., April IA Cham
| piOn special says: Reports concerning
the destruction of life and property
caused by the great prairie fire that
| swept over the eastern portion of Nor
| ton and Graham counties Saturday
afternoon and evening last are yet
meagre and unsatisfactory, but enough
is known to appal the stoutest heart.
| The fire started near Nicademus, Ora
ham County. The wind, which was
| blowing a gale of at least forty miles an
hour, carried the flames over and
through the dry grass at fright
| full speed. The general destruc-
ton of property commenced near
Roscoe, Graham County. Here the fire
spread over the country for fully two
| and half miles in width and, as the
| wind carried it north, was constantly
| spreading until it was seven miles wide,
| where it crossed the North Fork of the
Solomon River, three miles east of
Densmore. A few houses were burned,
also every stable with its stock of hay
and cribs of grain was burned, leaving
titute. 1t is pitiful sight
to pass over the burned district
and see the thousands of burned
chickens, turkeys and hundreds of
hogs, with occasional horses and nu-
merouS cattle. Almost every farmer
lost from one to 500 bushels OF corn,
besides small grain. The people fought
nobly for their lives and property; but
it was no use. The property must go
and unless they fled, their lives were
forfeited. It is definitely known
that from seven to ten lives
were lost in this and Graham
county so far as reported, but thus far
l have been unable to procure the
names. Four children persisted in one
family. The deaths here mentioned do
not include those spoken of below, who
persisted west of Mill Brook How far
the fire extended north from the
Solomon / don't know, but it
must have travelled long
distance. At the same time
fire swept down the south fork
of the Solomon to a point near Mill
brook sweeping everything in its
path, and burning six persons to death,
father, mother and four children and a
large number of cattle, horses, hogs and
poultry. In one instance woman had
given birth to q child, when the fire
was discovered approaching. Her hus-
band took her In his arms and started
for the ploughed ground, but before he
reach it the w0man's clothing was on
fire. He succeeded in saving her life.
The babe. less than an hour old, with
the other members of the family, was
saved, but the house and its contents
was destroyed, as wen as the stock,
grain and hay on the farm. Hundreds
of narrow escapes could be told. Sat
urday was fFightful day, one long to
be remembered by great many fami--
lies in Norton and Graham counties.
